[Open-access] Crowdsourcing request + BMJ OA Policy

Fri Mar 21 10:05:42 UTC 2014

The key thing for me is that all Open Access papers are CC-BY.  Of course
WT insist on this. There's no reason why RCUK should not also (the decision
may be Green/Gold, but there is no case for CC-NC). It will be really
important to see in the spreadsheet who the worst offenders are.

BTW maybe we should write the analysis up as a scholarly publication? Ha!
